CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE BARLEY STEW



Chicken and Sausage Barley Stew image

I know a lot of french-type stews have sausage, lentils and barley. I couldn't find andouille so I made do with lower-fat turkey sausage. My best friend, a very picky eater raved over this and said it was the best stew she'd ever eaten. It's got loads of fiber in each serving.

SAUSAGE BARLEY SOUP



Sausage Barley Soup image

This is a nice soup recipe with a lot of texture and flavor. It is a welcome change for those weeks when there doesn't seem to be a lot of variety... and all 3 of my kids even loved it. This can also be cooked in a pan on the stove until the barley and carrot are tender, but I prefer the slow cooker method. The flavors seem to blend better.
